29 Times Anti-Vaxxers Made Headlines For Regretting Not Getting The Vaccine While They Still Could
Recently, one piece of data has gotten into the spotlight: 99.5% of all the people dying from COVID-19 in the US are those still unvaccinated. Moreover, infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 107,000 hospitalizations from coronavirus, which makes it about 1.1%. It’s now agreed that the numbers serve as staggering proof of just how effective the vaccines have been.
And although CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a White House briefing in June that the vaccine is so effective that “nearly every death, especially among adults, due to COVID-19, is, at this point, entirely preventable,” many people still haven't gotten a shot. In fact, just under 50% of the American population has been vaccinated as of mid-July 2021. Moreover, the US supply of vaccines is so abundant and demand for them has dropped so much that too many doses sit unused.
Seeing unvaccinated people suffering from COVID-19 complications and dying from it is especially tragic when you know that every death could have been prevented. So no wonder many vaccine critics have made it to the headlines for finally regretting not getting a vaccine earlier, but sadly, often it’s all too late.

Personally I think there’s nothing more cowardly than “for the children” people. It’s never because they care about their children it’s always just them not wanting to grow and stunting their children so they will also stay in there little bubble As a result there’s closeted people on nooses and terminal illness. Avoidable deaths caused because they needed someone to go down with

I can excuse the people who thought it was a hoax or wasn’t real for the first couple weeks. I wasn’t convinced it was anything to worry about until all of a sudden the hospitals were like “we are out of medical supplies to deal with this”. But the longer covid has been a thing, the stupider these people look.

These stories are so tragic, such a waste of lives. All the people spreading propaganda against vaccination have blood on their hands
"You can see it dawn on them that they potentially made the biggest mistake of their lives," the harrowing words by Samantha Batt-Rawden, a British senior intensive care doctor and the president of the Doctors' Association UK, reflect the tragic situation.
"You know that there is something that the patient could have had which would have meant their life is not at risk, and it is a question we get asked a lot," she added referring to the available COVID-19 vaccines. She also overheard numerous sorrows from family members of the patients that refused to get a potentially life-saving vaccine.
Many similar statements were made by ICU doctors across Europe and the US as the pace of vaccination has dropped dramatically.

The same drop in vaccination and an alarming rise of cases in unvaccinated patients is sweeping across the US. But according to experts, the coronavirus deaths that are now dubbed ‘preventable’ will continue, with unvaccinated pockets of the nation having outbreaks as soon as the fall season sets in. According to AP News, Ali Mokdad, a professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, said modeling suggests the nation will hit 1,000 deaths per day again next year.
Meanwhile, while the growing number of tragic stories about unvaccinated people dying may indeed inspire skeptics to finally get their jabs, young adults may be better motivated by a wish to protect their closed ones, argues David Michaels, who’s an epidemiologist at George Washington University. Young adults are the group considered least likely to get vaccinated.

This is post 12 and I cannot read any further. The effing stupidty of those people.... Morons. It makes me soooo angry! And then those idiots who gets a double lung transplant...
In the White House briefing in June, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated: “COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone ages 12 and up.” According to her, “They are nearly 100% effective against severe disease and death—meaning nearly every death due to COVID-19 is particularly tragic, because nearly every death, especially among adults, due to COVID-19 is at this point entirely preventable."
Dr. Anthony Fauci from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases confirmed to CNN that those still dying from COVID-19 in the US are "overwhelmingly" unvaccinated. So there's enough overwhelming evidence to conclude that people have knowingly put themselves in harm's way during this lethal pandemic.
This fact, of course, doesn’t make their deaths any less tragic and they should serve as an urgent reminder that up until the point of falling victim to the now-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19, vaccination is the only way to keep yourself and your family members safe before it’s too late.

Came here to say the same thing. COVID-19 is (mostly) preventable or at least hospitalizations and deaths are if you get vaccinated. Having a serious, chronic condition that you were born with or developed due to a genetic condition is out of your control.

Sadly, there are those in the medical profession who are also anti-vax. The reasoning they give goes against the actual scientific evidence, and the one that I've chatted with seems to base it more on conspiracy theory stuff. It is strange to me, given that these are the same people who've had vaccinations as children and consequently haven't suffered from polio or other diseases vaccines help keep under control. Thankfully, most of the medical professionals I know (and I know a lot) actually understand the science, and also understand it is about not transmitting more virulent versions disease to others, not just getting it themselves.

Still, there has been a lot of press about how much more vulnerable older people are and how it hardly affected younger people - which was kind of true for the original variant, although exaggerated by some for political reasons. In any case, Delta appears to be less ageist.

I think this was very common in the beginning. Most younger patients do tend to have lighter symptoms so many younger people didn't worry too much about it...but we're more than a year into this thing now, you'd think people would have realized being young isn't a guarantee that you'll be fine.

They didn't realize because they had a president who lied about it. Who did nothing to protect them. Who should be charged with negligent homicide, just like a doctor would have been, or a car manufacturer, or child car seat company, for knowingly lying about the severity and causing people who could have been protecting themselves and others to become the ones that killed their family and neighbors.

A young person with covid might experience the symptoms to a lesser degree, but we still don't really know exactly what it's going to do to their bodies in the long term. Many people have ended up with irreparable damage to their organs, or are still suffering with symptoms even after months of being better. Things like eyes are affected, sense of smell, heart, lungs, and who knows what else.

There lies the rub. Crippled hospitals. You might have to delay treatment for your heart attack because the ambulances and hospitals are full of idiots who couldn't grasp the idea that vaccines are good and COVID is bad. It makes me wonder how many people have died waiting for treatment because the hospital was packed with idiots. In fact, it does more than make me wonder, it makes me bloody annoyed.

It may seem harsh, but I believe if you refuse to get vaccinated out of sheer stubbornness (obviously not including people who *can't* get the shot for medical reasons), you sign a waiver saying so and also agreeing that if you do contract the virus you won't seek medical attention for it. You made your choice - you either live with it or you die with it. If you do seek treatment, YOU will be responsible for whatever medical bills you incur. And refusing the vaccine automatically makes you ineligible for donated organs.

This past year has brought to light that too many people believe personal liberty excludes them from personal responsibility. A side effect of the miracles of the modern world is we have multiple generations who don't truly understand how horrible death, war, and disease are to all of us. The baby boomers were the first generation in the history of the world where you were likely to reach adulthood without having a sibling die due to battle or bug. The world made the polio vaccine mandatory because they had seen the atrocities it did to a body and wanted no one to ever suffer that again. 60 years later when a majority of people have never seen how bad it is, it becomes acceptable to claim stopping it should be a personal choice. The purpose of civilization is for us to come together and make sacrifices to make us all stronger. I claim this 1/4 acre lawn as mine instead of the whole world so we don't kill each other.
